Enclosed you will find some possibly not entirely realistic, but still possible predictions about the NFL playoffs.
1. Bears schocken Saints
The New Orleans Saints are superior to the Chicago Bears in every league comparison. They have the better overall offense (12th vs. 26th), the better passing game (19th vs. 22nd), the better running game (6th vs. 25th), and the better defense (4th vs. 11th). And that makes them a clear favorite.
Nevertheless, they won the last meeting in week 8 in overtime with 26-23. But since then Mitchell Trubisky has taken the helm again. And he played better than ever in his career in the last 6 weeks.
While Foles made 64.7% of his passes for 1,852 yards, 10 touchdowns, 8 interceptions and a passer rating of 80.8 in his 7 starts, Trubisky’s passes reached 70.7% since week 12. He threw 16 Tochdowns and 8 Intereptions and got a remarkable Passer-Rating of 97.8.
Trubisky led the Bears to 3 wins and thus into the playoffs.
The Saints had a pitch-black day with a total of 3 turnovers. The Bears take their chance and win just 31 to 30.
Drew Brees’ career is drawing to a close, while Trubisky’s is just beginning. – Louis
2. The Titans win the Wild Card Round
Oops they did it again: The Titans around QB Ryan Tannehill and superstar Derrick Henry win against the Baltimore Ravens. Again…
The Ravens never manage to stop Derrick Henry. This runs for over 180 yards and missed the Ravens the third loss in a row. Two of the three defeats come from playoff games. – Alex
3. All-Pro (2nd Team) Josh Allen strikes
Josh Allen continues to reach for the stars. Rivers is finally ready for retirement. The Buffalo Bills wins by 24-20 against the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts Defense keeps their team alive for a long time. At the end of the day, it is Rivers whose pass is intercepted by the Bills Defense. – Michael
Bonus Prediction
Let Russell cook. Shootout for the LA Rams. Together with a strong passing Russell Wilson, the Rams Defense comes under the wheels against the best Seahawks wide receiver duo in history. It is above all DK Metcalf who is convinced and Rams Jalen Ramsey mercilessly cooks play after play. Final score: 38-13 for Seattle.
Extra Bold Predictions
- Tom Brady doesn’t throw a single TD pass in the playoffs
- Ryan Tannehill throws 3+ touchdowns to lead the Titans into the next round
